Website Visitors
Like most website operators, I Build Sheds collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. I Build Sheds purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how ibuildsheds.com’s visitors use its website. From time to time, I Build Sheds may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
I Build Sheds also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. I Build Sheds does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to I Build Sheds website choose to interact with I Build Sheds in ways that require I Build Sheds to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that I Build Sheds gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who register for an account to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with I Build Sheds – by purchasing our sheds, for example – are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, I Build Sheds collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with I BuildSheds.
I Build Sheds does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. Visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying
information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Aggregated Statistics
I Build Sheds may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, I Build Sheds may monitor plugin downloads or number of comments. I Build Sheds may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, I Build Sheds does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
I Build Sheds discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on I Build Sheds behalf or to provide services available at I Build Sheds websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others.
Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using I Build Sheds website, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. I Build Sheds will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone.
Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, I Build Sheds discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when I Build Sheds believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of I Build Sheds, third parties or the public at large.
If you are a registered user of a I Build Sheds website and have supplied your email address, I Build Sheds may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with I Build Sheds and our products. We primarily use our blog to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum.
If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we
reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. I Build Sheds takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
